Sorry, goat lovers, it's traditionally a sheep's milk cheese (at least to the Greeks and Armenians.) Today, it is also made with goat's milk and more commonly, cow's milk.
We used to make it. You heat milk to near-boiling, add rennet and let the mixture coagulate. When the milk separates, you cut the curd and drain off the whey. The curds are placed in cheesecloth and squeezed and hung to dry for a day. Then the cheese is put into wooden barrels, covered with brine and aged for about four weeks. Most feta you buy will still have brine around it to keep the cheese fresh.

Usually its made out of gat milk, But its just the style of the cheese that gives it its "feta" name, you can make it out of anything really. It supposed to pe packaged in water though, to keep its salty flavor packed in. I'm surprised you know what it is, Impresive lol
